    Handles better when the truck isn't trying to back seat drive.

    I shoveled, maybe have 2". Still snowing lightly but probably won't add up to much more.

    Tuned mine up back in October. Checked it again in November. It's ready, but I feel like it ain't worth dragging out for less than 4 inches. Shoveling is good exercise.

    Got about 3 inches here so far and it's still steadily falling.

    I’ve hopelessly fallen behind on this thread. Just checking in.

    Has @pearing converted his tacoma to a rear steer truggy yet? Has @Supr4Lo moved back home to WI. Has @LarryDangerfield done any sweet jumps in his new 4runner?

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    No jumps until I get aftermarket suspension put in. I have actually been driving fairly maturely. Minimal full throttle acceleration and only a few donuts lol.

    Honestly? I'm not sure. I was really hoping to be able to sell the wheels and tires that came on it and use that money towards the suspension. Facebook has recently rubbed it in my face that it hasn't sold yet by sending me a notification saying that it has had 2,000 views and then like 3 days later a notification saying to make sure I update the listing to say sold if it has sold. I know around Christmas time is a bad time plus winter is a bad time to be selling wheels that have highway tires on them so I'm just going to let the listing chill but come springtime I definitely will start dropping the price if they still don't sell.

    Oh that sucks.

    That video is what convinced me to change my coolant before getting to 100k. Otherwise I would have just blown past 100k and do it eventually. Probably not a problem with 4runners, but now I understand what’s at stake.

    Actually, most of us have decided we're moving down to AZ near Jason and Pat traded in his rig for a Ridgeline. Also James gave up drinking and Dave quit smoking.

    Doing Donuts is mature. It's good to learn how your vehicle behaves when it has lost traction. Not sure how they would be with the full-time four-wheel drive, but I usually do them in 4hi anyway.
